How to set up portable satellite dish...
Ok so here is the story. Have a TT, 2014 Keystone passport. It has the crank up regular style winegard antenna with the small wall panel that has the booster, and the cable comes from this panel into the tv. I know when not using cable the booster is on, when using cable the booster is off.
The satellite thing will be dish network with the latest box (bundle kit). Hasn't arrived yet. I'm guessing the box will have HDMI out to the tv.
Here is the dilemma. I would like to keep the regular antenna intact in case of some reason I would want to use it over the dish. Since most parks (at least here in michigan) cable has been regulated to the need of the digital converter box in order to get any real stations, much like our homes here are, the cable input on the oustide of the trailer is relatively useless.
With have the dish setup I cannot see ever using the cable anyways. So what would be the best way to get the sat line into the trailer from outside, without running the cable in through a window or door? Can I use the cable input somehow and rewire it?Should I start dropping the chloroplast and drilling holes into the trailer from the outside to wire it in?
I'd like to be able to attach the dish cable to the back of the trailer somehow. Or maybe I can come up through the bottom someway and attached a fitting to the frame?
Any thoughts on this?
